The highlight among the new iPods is the “iPod touch”, which is based on the technologies of the iPhone: It offers a 3.5-inch display and is controlled by touchscreen. When it is turned horizontally, the image adjusts automatically. It also contains a WLAN module through which the owner can nowgo online. Alongside browsing websites, it is now also possible to shop directly in the iTunes Store. A special browser allows convenient viewing of youtube videos.
The iPod touch is available in two versions: With 8 GB of flash memory for 299 US dollars and with 16 GB for 399 US dollars. (The German prices are not yet known at the moment.)
